BATON ROUGE — LSU is partnering with the 11 other SEC institutions for the third annual Together We CAN Food Drive from September 18-27. The Tigers will collect food and financial donations at different athletic events to benefit the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.
The SEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) raised more than 150,000 pounds of food as well as donations that benefited local food banks and shelters during the 2008 event.
LSU softball will be at the Maravich Center to collect items prior to the Friday and Sunday volleyball matches. There will be five barrels inside the arena between the Lower Southeast and Southwest entrances.
Another prime opportunity to donate is all day Saturday leading into the football game against Louisiana-Lafayette at the L-Club Tailgate located on the lower level of the Maravich Center.
Fans also can bring items to next weekend’s soccer matches against Georgia and Tennessee.
For those fans wanting to donate but not able to make it to one of the above athletic events, barrels will be at the front entrance of the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes in addition to the Athletic Training Room during the entire 10 day period.
